FEGGITES RED 2011 - OENOGENESIS WINERY

Feggites (skylights) 2011 Domaine Oinogenesis is probably the classiest Bordeaux blend in Greece and one of those that will not pass by easily.

From the hands of the "Wizard" Bakis Tsalkos, the man who made famous the wineries he worked for as an oenologist, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are combined into a blend that has nothing to envy from famous French wines.

Having lived half his life in France and having worked for some of the largest wineries, Bakis decided to start his own winery, Oenogenesis, in his hometown, Drama. He already knew the French varieties very well. He knew he would make good wines. The area had all the guarantees. But he wanted to make great wines. That would be the big bet.

Did he win the bet? Enjoy the Feggites Red 2011 by Oenogenesis winery and answer yourself.

We suggest decanting it for about an hour before enjoying it. It already waited for a long time. Give it just a little bit more. It will reward you.

Ruby red color with purple hues in the glass.

Elegant, evolutionary bouquet with black and red fruits forming the basis. Raspberry and blackcurrant are combined with ripe cherry, plum while cinnamon, cloves and green pepper add a spicy character. Nuts, vanilla and chocolate gradually make their appearance, withleather notes, black tea, eucalyptus and ink completing the complex and still unfolding bouquet.

Moderate (+) volume body, with soft, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Red and black fruit continue with the same intensity and in the palate in more spicy tones, with cinnamon and black tea adding character and insisting on the long-lasting aftertaste.
